Last season my picks were 50/50 at best. This year I've got no idea which team will emerge at the top. They're all so close, all looking good, and there has been so many big moves of top players between teams.
Having said that, I like the look of the Denver Nuggets, and the Milwaukee Bucks. Of course I always support the Houston Rockets but I'm not convinced they can get the most out of Russell Westbrook. He's just too much of a ball hog.
The Los Angeles Lakers can never be discounted either, they've got a powerful lineup.
Teams that will disappoint? Maybe the Los Angeles Clippers, they've never won a title, old habits are hard to break. The Brooklyn Nets won't be a real force until Kevin Durant is back from injury, so their fans will have to wait until 2020/21.
Surprises? Not so much of a surprise really; the Philadelphia 76ers, look for them to be the main challenger to the Bucks in the east. Oh and the Toronto Raptors, even without Kawhi Leonard, the Raptors may surprise once again.
Summary:
Looking Good;
Denver Nuggets
Milwaukee Bucks
Don't Discount;
Los Angeles Lakers
Houston Rockets
Disappointing;
Los Angeles Clippers
Brooklyn Nets
Surprises;
Philadelphia 76ers
Toronto Raptors.
